When you move or manipulate an object with your mind, roll +Strange.

• 10+: Precise control. Move it where you want, at the speed you want.
• 7–9: It moves, but not with precision, the GM decides exactly how.

Used as a weapon: Thrown objects deal 2 harm. Larger objects deal up to 3 harm, roll +Strange to aim.

When you attempt to pass through a solid object, roll +Strange.

• 10+: Pass through cleanly. No trace you were there.
• 7–9: You make it through but you're disoriented, take -1 forward.

When you teleport a short distance, same room, same building, within line of sight, roll +Strange.

• 10+: Arrive exactly where you intended.
• 7–9: Arrive close, within a few feet of the target location.

When you make yourself difficult to notice, not invisible, just somehow overlooked, roll +Strange.

• 10+: People's eyes slide past you. You can move through a crowd or space without being registered.
• 7–9: It holds until you do something that demands attention.

When you make physical contact with someone, you can draw their energy, strength, stamina, willpower. Roll +Strange.

• 10+: They take 1 harm and you clear 1 harm.
• 7–9: They take 1 harm. You don't recover anything.

You have a constant, low-level awareness of wrongness. The GM will tell you when something in a scene is not what it appears to be, a person, an object, a space. No roll required.

(1/session)

Once per session, something inexplicable happens in your favor. Describe what you were hoping would happen, the GM decides how it manifests. It should be roughly equivalent to a strong 10+ on any move.

Your powers come from a dark source. You can push harder than you should, for each additional point of harm you want to deal on a hit, take that same amount yourself. Maximum +3 additional harm. Declare before rolling.

Your mind is so alien that mental intrusion backfires. When someone attempts to read your mind or attack you mentally, they get nothing, or take the damage they intended for you. No roll required.

When you touch a person or object and focus, you leave a mental connection. Roll +Strange.

• 10+: You always know where they are and can sense their emotional state for the rest of the mission.
• 7–9: The connection is one-way and fades after one scene.

You have a civilian identity so mundane it's almost supernatural. You have one item, glasses, a hair tie, a hat, that makes you completely unrecognizable compared to your powered form. Roll +Strange for any deception checks related to concealing your identity.

Your base is more than it appears. Choose two features:

Hidden / Underground bunker / Shielded from all mental powers / Arsenal / Well-stocked supplies / Great view of the city / Floating above the city / Only you have access / Contains a super prison

You carry a bag that holds far more than it should, up to 1,000 lbs of gear in something that looks like a normal pack. When removing a specific item under pressure, roll +Strange.

• 10+: Exactly what you need, right on top.
• 7–9: It's in there, but it takes a moment and you're exposed while you dig.

A strange energy surrounds you in combat. Whenever an enemy lands a melee hit on you, they take 1 harm from the feedback (passive).

At the beginning of a mission, reach through a portal into the shadow dimension. Roll +Strange.

• 10+: Pull out a weapon perfectly suited to this mission, the GM describes it. It has a +2 bonus to relevant rolls.
• 7–9: Pull out a useful weapon, but it has a defect, the GM describes both.

When you reach into a small fold in reality to store or retrieve an object, roll +Strange.

• 10+: Store or retrieve instantly. The pocket holds up to 10 items.
• 7–9: Works, but retrieving takes a moment, you're briefly exposed.

When you let your true nature show to unnerve a group, roll +Strange.

• 10+: Non-super enemies flee or freeze. Powered individuals take -1 ongoing this scene.
• 7–9: Non-super enemies hesitate. Powered individuals are unaffected.

When you partially phase through solid matter mid-strike, your attack bypasses physical armor completely. Roll +Strange.

• 10+: Deal full harm, armor ignored.
• 7–9: Deal full harm, armor ignored, but the phase leaves you disoriented, take -1 forward.

When you step through a shadow or dark space and emerge from another within line of sight, roll +Strange.

• 10+: Instant. You arrive silently and undetected.
• 7–9: You arrive, but a brief visual distortion gives away your location.

(1/session)

Draw on the full depth of whatever you are. For one action, you can accomplish something categorically beyond your normal capability, define it with the GM before rolling. Roll +Strange. On 10+ it works completely. On 7–9 it works but the strain is visible, something about you changes, at least for the session.
